§ 143. Mr. W. Shepherdasked the Minister of Transport if he will arrange for S coupons to have the same value and entitlement to spare parts as E coupons, in view of the increasing need for spare parts for old vehicles running for business purposes.
§ Mr. BarnesThere is no general control over the distribution and sale of spare parts, but for certain makes the regional maintenance and certifying officers grant spares shortage certificates to assist the owners of vehicles engaged on essential work in obtaining spare parts which are in short supply. For private cars, certificates are normally issued only for those for which " E " petrol coupons have been granted, but in exceptional cases where the circumstances warfant they are issued for cars for which " S " coupons have been granted.
